pikminenco says “a powerful hurricane “devastated” most of the ships but that doesn’t stop the MRC to make a racetrack of it. There are 3 ways to cross the lake, through the shipwrecks, through the shallow water and a hidden route that you will have to find yourself.”

Track Name: Desert Island Dash

atheistsw says “This is a pretty challenging course, but also very rewarding. There are multiple routes to take which offer up their own pros and cons and should make for varied, thoughtful racing strategies. I do believe this is my most fun and most balanced track to date featuring a bit of everything. Fast straights, drifty hairpins, big air jumps, devastating devastators, some roly poly barrels and a few nifty shortcuts for good measure, this event has it all and a bit more thrown in at that.”

Track Name: Shortcut City

Flamestalker-NL says “Go between those trucks, check that alleyway and what’s behind the market stalls? As the name implies this track is littered with shortcuts. There are more then 15 shortcuts to find, some even combine or split up. The combinations you can make are almost endless.”

  • Is the Double XP for US only ? Or also for EU ?

  • I’d like to know who BUFF8824 is and just how they got on my friends list! That’s not the name thats on the original pick, I imagine they edited the psn id. Nice catch tho, I didn’t even notice it.

  • will there b a sequel 2 this game

  • Hey, just Hot lap and stuff, are you working your way through old submissions to get to the more recent ones?

  • I’ll be joining the Modnation on PS3 soon, just won the game from the Subway promotion. :)

    See you in 8-10 weeks!

  • @51

    never thought about that. Reply please Ramone!

  • Will we be getting an DLC for the PSP version?

  • @56 moriarty1975, if the boost of create XP was for all, there’s no reason for this double XP week were restricted for US only… it will be for everyone for sure

    Hi Ramone, ey after lil tinker and woody DLC, are gonna put another brand new DLC with new body kart and stuff as it was with princess and vampy? it will be cool. Thanks for doubleXP week

  • This would be nice if i could actually get online. Everyone i know in D.C. that has this game cant get online or keeps getting disconnected. Arg!

  • @58 Hi Elnath

    Yeah i know but just wanna make sure!

  • Sept 1 what time starts double xp event??

    Pls advise ASAP

  • When is the cut off for submissions to the mod/kart Monday contest? I can’t find a cut-off date mentioned anywhere. And, can you not post pictures of your creations on the forum. I did that today and it seems to have been deleted but people posting pics of their tracks are there.

  • modnation.. who is your driver?

  • Disregard the second question. I simply posted it to the wrong area. But I really would like to know the cut off on submissions.

  • Double XP Till the 8th sounds quite generous gotta check it out

  • Wow I had no idea my mod would get up on part of Mod of the Week. I’m happy now. Thanks UFG. :)

  • Hey is ufg working on the westell 7500 thing i would like to know if you cant is there any way to fix my router for it to work with mnr without messing it up? please reply.

  • Double XP..woo hoo. I should easily be able to get 100k this week, lvl30 approaching fast.

    Ramone is there any plan to up the XP in series races? Some ideas

    1) XP for the fastest lap within the race e.g. 50 XP
    2) Mega bonus if you win all 5 races in the series e.g. 1000 XP
    3) Increase the base XP.. maybe x1.5 for everything

    If not please throw in some of more these double XP weeks, I get the feeling the races will now be packed which is what we want.

  • What time does double XP start?

  • @70 dunno I’m in UK and still no double yet. Could be midday pacific time, I think that’s what UFG is on?

    Ramone?

  • Yeah it’s about after lunch here and still no Double XP, from races at least.

  • Here in Germany nothing too.

  • So how will this actually work then? Will points be double as and when we get them or will they double up on the 8th September?

  • That’s a good question gazb. I’m beginning to wonder the same thing. I hope it’s not at the end. That won’t be near as exciting. I hope someone will tell us when it starts or IF it has started!

  • Oh I think I see what it is, it’s doubled for XP series races, and creations. That’s why I wasn’t getting anything from those single XP races.

  • @76

    I did a couple of xp series races and didnt get double xp.

  • im not getting double xp either

  • Man i wish they lets us know what is going on.

  • please someone official give us an answer dont just tempt us!

  • Yeah I just did a whole XP series and no double XP. :(

  • i think it’s the blind leading the blind there.

  • I’m not that surprised that they managed to mess this up…

  • Where’s the double XP! I don’t see it :/

  • it starts 2am pacific time tonight the servers didn’t update runs till next thur.

  • Hi Ramone, noticed this week was advertised as double xp week, but I’m not seeing anything except the regular amounts. I’ve seen some people saying it’s delayed until 2am PST, and also, that there was no server maintenance so the double xp wasn’t implemented due to that. No offense to anyone that posted the info, its just that until we would hear something form you, or get a link to where they found their info, its pretty much hear/say. If we could get an update on when the double xp would be implemented, it would be much appreciated. Thanks- Living.

  • @86

    Go to the modnation community forum. In the ‘Double XP’ thread, RUSSELL_05 (community developer) says, “The servers didn’t update double XP will be working starting at 2am (pacific time) and we will run it until next Thursday to make up for the lost 24 hours.”

  • Thanks, just read your response on the MNR website. Appreciate the response. Thanks again.

  • Anyone got the slightest clue as to what is going on with double XP? The numbers during series races are still standard, I win like 3 or 4 series in a row and then go back to mod and it gives me like 400 extra XP… i mean WTF?

    Ramone please explain how this works.

  • Ya, I will tell you what is going on with double XP week. They still haven’t figured out how to get it to work… There is no double XP yet.

  • @92, ok I think I can see it working now. I just won a series and I racked up around 2,000 XP for it which sounds about right. It seems to do it in the background.

  • Double XP IS working now. Normal XP amounts are shown at the end of a race or series but we are getting double XP. Take note of your XP amount, do a single race then check your XP while in the modspot to see.

  • Hi Ramone, my track Bayside Blitz was supposed to be the hot lap for this Wednesday just gone, but it seems you actually put up another track of the same name by a creator called DeLive. You can check this because his track has 3000+ plays and mine has only 26 :( Could you look into this for me please? Thanks.

  • Good News: I have 250,00 Create XPs and now Level 30 because of this. Very nice idea, Ramone!

  • what??? no modnation monday today?… what happend?

  • @Elanth10

    Labor day hangover is what happened!

  • @98 hi, moriarty1975

    lol…. so is it gonna be a modnation tuesday?… or it will be until next week?

  • “Modnation Monday : Tuesday Edition” ? ;)
